> Zeemote unveils controller for phone games

Mobile World Congress
Like playing games on your phone but you're fed up using a numeric keypad to play? Start-up Zeemote reckons it has the answer: a compact Bluetooth-connected joystick controller.
Zeemote's Zeeote: phone gaming gets serious?
Also dubbed the Zeemote, the 95 x 35 x 20mm, 47g gadget is designed to be held in one hand while you hold your phone in the other. There's a joystick on top and a switch just behind it, both placed for easy thumbing, and two buttons on the front ready to be triggered with your index finger.
Tucked inside in an indent on the lower side of the controller is a fourth key that can be pressed with your middle finger. All four buttons are user-programmable, Zeemote said.
The add-on is powered by a pair of AAA batteries.
Zeemote – the company – claimed the controller brings “near-console game play”, which is perhaps stretching the point a little. It's no Sixaxis, after all. But it cerainly makes playing some mobile titles, like Tomb Raider Anniversary easier than they are when all you have is a text-messaging centric keypad to steer Lara with.
Zeemote didn't say when its controller will go on sale, or how much it'll cost. The company is hoping mobile phone operators will bundle the gadget with gaming handsets.

zeemote does work on ANY bluetooth phone, only requires a zeemote compatible game
soon all w760 will be sold with a voucher which gives you a free zeemote
only think it's realy sad SE does their promotions like this.
like you buy a k850, you'll get a free canon photoprinter with it which a voucher (promotion after 3 months of sale of phone release)
p990, you'll get a free copy of route66 with a voucher (promotion yet again after 3/4 months of phone release)
K810, you'll receive a free copy of a 2gb m2 card when sending in a voucher (promotion again after 3 months of phone release)
w810, you'll receive free speaker set with a voucher (after 4 months of phone release)
this list goes on and on and ...
if you're looking for a good deal, don't buy a sony-ericsson straight away.
you'll always receive a better offer with extra goodies etc. after the phone released
i think it's odd, since (we all) are SE fans, and like to be the 1st to get a phone.
why not reward those who are realying looking forward to a phone?
